Card Identification Forum

i was wondering if anyone know what set this came from?  I searched TCBD and other card sites, and can't find this card /15.  The person I bought from said they were available in retail packs on the west coast. If anyone has any info I would appreciate..

I did notice this card has different back then other heroes cards I have.

thanks

Best guess is this:

but this is possible too.

It looks like more like the black than the charcoal cards (hard to tell how dark it really is from the picture), but the release notes say the black were SN125 and the charcoal were either SN125 or had no serial number.

Weird that the text is superimposed over another line on the back as well...

A head-scratcher. Some of the Black AU MEM cards are SN15. Yours is SN15 but missing the autograph area and has a printing error on the back.  

I wonder if maybe this one was meant to be tossed because of the error but found its way out the door instead.

It is a head scratcher.  I also have a grey one like it not numbered but has a memorabilia piece in it and the back has the same writing and same number down in the bottom box.   

Maybe some of the black memorabilia cards were short printed?  For cards #/125, there are a lot that have not appeared on COMC.  I checked PSA, and there are no graded Ozzie black memorabilia cards.  For charcoal, there are cards with and without the serial number, so those aren't consistent either.  COMC lists 77 cards as passing through their system, TCDB lists 81.  I'm guessing there was never a solid checklist since it appears the entire set was not paralleled.

And yeah, that misalignment of the text on the back is odd.  I don't think it is an auto missing the sticker because the text on the back would be different.

Funny, card #12 of 15 is for sale on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334125293339

Same misprint on the back.

Looks line the unnumbered gray version also has the same misprint.  There is a tan /50 that looks correct on the back.

Not a misalignment of text. The "Wins 13th Gold Glove Award" isn't supposed to there.
